Abstract:
A laundry treating machine (100) and a control method thereof are provided. The laundry treating machine (100) may include a drum (130) rotatably provided in a tub (120), an air supply device (160) to supply air to the tub (120), a cooling water supply device (200) to supply cooling water to an inner surface of the tub (120) such that moisture contained in air is condensed at the inner surface of the tub (120), and a controller (225) to control the cooling water supply device (200) to selectively supply cooling water based on user selection. When a drying course is selected, the controller (225) determines a particular drying course to be performed (S110) and, based on the determined drying course, either cooling water necessary to generate condensed water is supplied, or the supply of cooling water is stopped, and the drying course is performed.
Abstract:
Provided are a laundry treating apparatus and a method for controlling a cleaning nozzle (220) thereof. The laundry treating apparatus includes: a main body (110) having a tub (140), and having a circulation path (160) along which air inside the tub is circulated after being taken out of the tub; a cleaning nozzle (220) provided at the circulation path (160), and configured to inject water; a water supply passage (240) having one side connected to a water supply source (242) and having another side connected to the cleaning nozzle (220); a water supply valve (250) configured to open and close the water supply passage (240); and a controller (270) configured to control the water supply valve such that water is supplied to the cleaning nozzle, wherein the controller (270) controls the water supply valve (250) such that water is supplied to the cleaning nozzle (220), at the time of at least one drain course among a plurality of drain courses. With such a configuration, the circulation path (160) may be automatically cleaned, and blowing efficiency and heat exchange efficiency may be enhanced.

Abstract:
Laundry treating apparatus and method for controlling a water supply valve (250, 252, 254) thereof, whereby the laundry treating apparatus includes a plurality of cleaning nozzles (210) provided at a circulation path (160) which circulates air inside a tub (130), and configured to inject water; a plurality of water supply passages (241) having one side connected to a water supply source (240) and having another side connected to the plurality of cleaning nozzles (210); a plurality of water supply valves (250, 252, 254) configured to open and close the water supply passages (241); and a controller (275) configured to sequentially control the water supply valves (250, 252, 254) such that at least one of the water supply valves (250, 252, 254) is open and another water supply valve (250, 252, 254) is closed, such that one of the plurality of cleaning nozzles (210) is open to allow water to be continuously supplied from the water supply source (240).
